Avaliable at registration
Open to ages 7 to 12. Experience a taste of the full Performance Academy experience — condensed into four days over Winter Break. You'll train in a small dedicated group alongside a certified coach for all four days, with the same focus on carving, speed development, and technical progression that defines the full-season program — just in a Winter Break format. Who It's For? - Skiers curious about joining the full Performance Academy on Saturdays or Sundays this season (if spots remain) or next season — this is the ideal way to try it first. - Current Performance Academy participants who want to stay sharp and keep progressing over Winter Break. - Advanced recreational skiers who want more than a standard lesson group and are ready for a higher coaching standard. What to Expect? - Small dedicated group (max 5:1) with a certified coach across all four days. - Training focused on carving, control, and speed — the same foundations as the full-season program. - Certified ACA & CSIA coaches from Ottawa Sports Alpine Club, our high-performance coaching program under Alpine Access Corp. Thinking about next season? Completing the Spring Break Performance Academy puts you in a strong position to join the full Saturday or Sunday program in the fall. Talk to your coach during the week — we're happy to chat about what fits best.
